We refused to cut corners on the one thing that matters most: how it feels. Here’s what goes into every Mimic:

• Three years of R&D with Trig, an award-winning product design firm with deep roots in healthcare and human factors, from ergonomic design and prototyping to ongoing development.
• A patented, adjustable neck in solid zinc alloy. It’s the only way to get a true controller feel on keyboard and mouse, because it locks in at your exact StickPrint™.
• A custom Modke spacebar with an indent on the left side that lets the Mimic sit right into it. Together with the adjustable neck, that’s what lets the Mimic truly mimic a controller grip.
• A patented Modke Windows key and connector designed for your keyboard model, so the Mimic locks on and stays put.
• Precision injection-molded parts assembled in the US.
• A GuliKit Hall Effect thumbstick with interchangeable thumbcaps.
• A free web utility to fine-tune calibration, strafe angles, sensitivity curves and more.
• A lifetime reWASD Basic license for games that don’t support a controller stick natively.
• Our StickPrint™ guarantee. Find yours or we’ll pay for return shipping.
• A lifetime warranty. If your Mimic fails from normal use, we replace it for as long as you own it.

Why adjustable matters. Before we partnered with Trig, another top design firm told us an adjustable thumbstick would be too complex and too expensive to build, and pitched a one-size-fits-all design instead. Trig warned us of the same cost. We built it anyway. A thumbstick sitting perfectly under the tip of your thumb is the best feeling in gaming, every hand is different, and we were determined to bring that to PC players regardless of cost.

If you’ve played on a keypad, we get why you’d ask. For us, the answer is hell no. Your thumb already knows what to do. You're not replacing your keyboard. The only real adjustment is your binds: with movement on your thumb, W, A, S and D become four free binds, and rebuilding around them takes a few days. Our Drum Binds framework in Discord is the way to go, so check it out before you buy if you’re curious.

For Fortnite, yes, and it's worth it in the long run. Binds built around WASD or other joystick mods were designed for a suboptimal hand position, so they won't take advantage of what the Mimic does. Learning new binds might take you a few days, but it's how you get the full ergonomic and performance benefit for the long haul.

The Mimic is built for players who are ready to optimize their binds. If you're not quite ready yet, hold off on purchasing and join our Discord.

Comfort is the reason the Mimic exists. It’s built to feel like gripping a controller right over your keyboard, and it adapts to your hand in a way no other gaming peripheral can:

• A palm rest built around your hypothenar eminence, the meaty outer edge of your hand that you naturally rest on when you write, draw or hold a controller. It anchors your hand there and keeps pressure off the center of your wrist (where the carpal tunnel is).
• Sculpted through rounds of prototypes and hands-on testing, so large and small hands rest naturally.
• An adjustable neck that keeps the tip of your thumb on the stick 100% of the time, in constant, relaxed IP flexion (gently bent) instead of stretched and locked.
• Mirrored to your mouse hand, so both hands sit in the same natural, balanced position.

‍

Yes. The Mimic presents itself as a standard XInput controller, with no macros, automation or input manipulation. We intentionally left key remapping out of the Mimic’s firmware and web utility, so it stays within Fortnite’s competitive rules.

In Fortnite, you just turn on “Lock Input Method as Mouse,” the game’s own setting for using a controller stick with keyboard and mouse. You don’t get controller aim assist. It’s the same as the left stick on a controller, right over your keyboard.

‍

Your StickPrint™ is the exact spot where the stick sits under the tip of your thumb, so your thumbtip stays “glued” to the thumbstick cap 100% of the time, no matter what direction you’re moving.

It matters because when your controller can’t do that, it feels off, and you lose consistency and control.

If you play on a joystick or keypad, try this: push your stick all the way forward and watch your thumb.

On most keypads and joystick mods, your thumb straightens and locks out to reach full forward, and you end up steering with the underside of your thumb joint instead of the tip. You may have noticed it never felt quite right, but you’ve learned to live with it over the years. It’s costing you precision and consistency, like a golfer playing with poorly fitted clubs.

The Mimic keeps your thumb bent with the tip centered on the stick. That’s how joysticks were designed to be used, and it comes down to our two rules of thumb:

1. A bent thumb reacts faster. It stays primed like a spring, ready to move in any direction instead of pulling back from a locked position.
2. Control comes from the tip. Your fingertip has the finest motor control in your hand, so small, quick adjustments feel effortless and consistent.

Every hand is different, so the Mimic adjusts until it fits yours. Think of it as finally getting your clubs fitted.

The Mimic attaches to your keyboard with a patented, model-specific connector.

Some players even make their own connectors, whether they 3D print them or build them another way. Sly Jack built one that mounts his Mimic on the right side of his keyboard.
